Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief
On Approximately May, 6th of 2018 i was introduced to Marcus/Marques King of Solid Credit Solutions LLC By an Individual by the name of Heather Jean Bagette. Heather informed me she had someone who specialized in credit repair and credit building services and that he’d fixed her credit report as well as many of her friends reports. And that Mr. King came highly recommended. Heather contacted and arranged for her myself and Mr. King to meet the following day to discuss the services Mr. King offered as well as discuss pricing points. The following day May,7th 2018 we set a meeting for 11am in downtown Los Angeles Ca, in a conference room that was located in Ms. Bagette’s apartment building. Mr. King discussed the packages he offered i went with the $*** Package This was supposed to include a CPN number as well as 3 high limit tradelines to aid in the building of said CPN number. Mr. King advised me to get a P.O Box as well as a alternate phone number for my file which i made arrangements to do and did. I offered Mr. King a personal check as well as to go to my bank and issue him a cashiers check which was the most comfortable and professional option. Mr. King insist it only be a cash payment because he needed to send said payment to a "White Lady in Florida" and she prefers the payments be placed in her account for services, He’d provide me a receipt as well as contract for the services. The Following day i met at the same downtown Los Angeles, CA location with Mr. King as well as Ms. Bagette. That day day being May,8th 2018 at around 10 am that was the day the $*** dollars was dispersed and contracts as well as a promise for a service to be rendered was exchanged. The following day May 9th 2018 a CPN number as well as an ETA for services rendered was given and i was under the impression that Mr. King was doing his job. Mr. King promised he provide weekly updates to reassure my apprehensions from him requesting only cash payments rather that a more traceable option. On May 12th 2018 Mr. King text me informing me that he’d have a list of trade lines that were set to post on my report by that following monday May 14th 2018. That monday came and went i never got the update, On Wednesday May 16th i contacted Mr. King asking for an update. He informed me that he had me on 3 of the trade lines i’d paid for 2 of them posting the following week and the other a week after. He also informed me just as promised in the meeting he’d give me a log in to a credit reporting agency so that i could see the lines posting and monitor the progress. On the May 26th i contacted Mr. King to see what the progress was he informed me that he was out of town and would provide me with an update May 27th 2018. I also ask him to send me over his price points as i had a few referrals i was going to send him. May 27th 2018 came no update from Mr. King as promised. on May 31st i contacted Mr. King for an update he said that his "Source" had not gotten back to him yet. I informed Mr. Kind that tomorrow was going to be July 1st 2018 and that in our contract as well as meeting he stated me ETA for my services rendered would be between the July 1st 2018 and July 9th 2018. His response was that it had not been 30 days and that he’d send me a login as soon as the first line posted. I quickly responded to Mr. King with a screenshot of our May 16th conversation where he stated that 2 line were set to post the following week that being between May 21st 2018 and May 25th 2018 and 1 line the following week being May 28th 2018 and June 1st 2018. That was one of the first red flags due to the fact Mr. King had given me conformation that he’d already seen them post. His story wasn’t adding up. I asked Mr. King for an ETA June 1st 2018 He stated he’s have an update by the end of business day i never got an update. On June 5th 2018 i contacted Mr. King for an update. He stated to me that someone had given him bad CPN numbers and the first line didn’t go through but he’d put me on 2 more set to post within 2 weeks . I asked for an exact ETA he said between June 15th 2018- June 18th 2018. I asked if he was absolutely positive of the ETA he said he was and that the system error prolonged the initial ETA. On June 14th i text Mr. King for an update he said he’s provide one by the end of that day. Mr. King asked me if i’d gotten a rejection letter from American Express i told him no the only email i’d gotten was from credit Karma saying an account was created. He then again told me he was working on it. July 15th 2018 8:28am as well as 12:02 pm i reached out to Marcus for an update and got no response. I contacted Ms. Bagette informing her of the situation and asking her what was going on at that point to many red flags we’re coming up and i felt as if was being bamboozled and that i was going to turn the matter over to the authorities. Mr. King responded to Ms. Bagette immediately stating he was out of town. Mr. King sent me a rude unprofessional text using profane language and telling me i was wack and needed to relax. As i’ve stated before these are some of the most unprofessional rude individuals i’ve ever had dealings with. i wouldn’t dare speak to one of my clients in such a way. Mr. King stated he’s try to call me but due to his behavior via text i felt it no need to engage in any verbal exchanged i ask him to please text or email all correspondence. During June 18th 2018 Ms. Bagette and i had many exchanges via text over the issue because i was highly disappointed in her involving me in a scam and scamming me. She said when she spoke with Mr. King he’s given her the greenlight to proceed with the utilization of my credit file. i needed to apply for an apartment so i did so. when doing so nothing came up it didn’t work. June 20th 2018 i text Mr. King yet again asking what was going on. He stated to me that i wasn’t supposed to use it yet despite him telling Ms. Bagette it was fine for me to do so. Mr. King proceeded to be unprofessional and rude about the issue at hand. He said that he reached out to his "Connect" and was working to fix the file once more. All i kept insisting is either i get my service or my funds back. From June 22nd- July 13th 2018 Mr. King kept giving me excuse after excuse and prolonging dates not providing my service. I was able to get a hold of the company Mr. King works with. I spoke with the owner of the company and informed him of the situation. He said he would look into the matter as well as contact Mr. King. Shortly after Mr. King calls me in a rage! Cursing at me yelling upset that i had contacted the company he works for or with. Calling me "Puck [censored] B%tch his words and i quote [censored] you and your file you B!tch. i have an audio recording of the entire event. I contacted Ms. Bagette on July 14th 2018 to ask when my funds will be given back to me even providing a screenshot of Mr. King saying he’d do so. She said she spoke with Mr. King and he was unwilling to do so despite my services never rendered and the promise to issue my funds back. This is just a synopsis of events.
